A DeRosa owner here. (and kinda passionate about DeRosa/Campy/raceworthy/etc)
Hey - somebody out there needs a derosa with double eyelets on their stamped rear dropouts. How else are you gonna cleanly attach fenders and a rear rack? A grocery getter - call it the family man's derosa.
As long as it gets ridden and scratched once in a while - it's OK in my book.
The cheap ones are just bicycles after all.
Nice work by the OP in making it prettier and a clean ride.
Coming on summer Down Under - may all your winds be at your tail.

final edit: RobbieTunes started a C&V thread today - Race, Commute, Gravel, Grocery Get = 1 bike. Maybe OP nailed it - The grocery getting, rain bike, with fatter tires for the commute, that can (new moon) moonlight as the sexy Italian race bike/cheap date. Yeah, yeah - that's the ticket.
